Condition: The property, built in 1982, is well-maintained and features charming original Spanish architectural elements like vintage tile and exposed beams.

About this home

Perched in one of Rancho Palos Verdes’ quietest gated enclaves, this three-bedroom, three-bath Spanish-style home delivers unmatched privacy, generous indoor–outdoor living, and the most commanding view position in the community. With only ten homes behind the gate, residents enjoy rare tranquility along with access to a beautifully maintained pool, clubhouse, full kitchen, and abundant guest parking—ideal for hosting gatherings of any size. Inside, the main level is designed for connection and entertaining, framed by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and vintage Spanish tile. A sculptural fireplace anchors the living space featuring curved forms that echo the home’s architectural roots. French doors open to the back deck, where ocean and city views unfold from Malibu to Long Beach — Queen’s Necklace, the Hollywood sign, Downtown skyline, fireworks, and more. A lofted office/library sits just a few steps above the main level, offering a quiet workspace with built-in shelving and access to a covered private deck. It’s perfectly positioned away from the primary living spaces without drawing on the view. The kitchen retains its original Spanish character and includes a versatile adjacent room that works seamlessly as a den, breakfast room, or informal family space. All bedrooms are grouped together on the lower level with the laundry room conveniently on the same level. The primary suite features an exceptionally rare dual-suite configuration: two commode rooms, two separate vanities, and two expansive wardrobe areas connected by a central tub/shower. The suite features a private fireplace and it opens to a peaceful patio area. An attached sitting room—or third bedroom—creates the ideal setup for a nursery, private lounge, fitness space, or office. Additional highlights include a whole-house vacuum system, wetbar, abundant storage throughout, and a two-car garage with extensive cabinetry, outlets for EV charging, overhead storage, and room for a full workbench. Located off of a low-traffic cul-de-sac street near scenic walking paths, this home sits just minutes from Peninsula Center shops and conveniences, Peninsula High School, Ridgecrest Intermediate, and nearby preschools. A rare opportunity to own privacy, architecture, and sweeping views in one of RPV’s most hidden, tightly held communities.
